Liberals believe babies should just enrol in the school food program that they offer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9015288\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is ludicrous that the Liberals are referring hungry babies to a school food program. It is outrageous that, in a country like Canada, parents are having to make a decision between paying their bills and being able to afford the basic necessities of life for a baby. This is literally life and death, and these Liberals stand over there and shrug their shoulders.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9015289\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> stop his inflationary spending and make life affordable for Canadians again?</p>",

C'est scandaleux que, dans un pays comme le Canada, des parents doivent choisir entre payer leurs factures et subvenir aux besoins essentiels de leur b\u00e9b\u00e9. Il s'agit litt\u00e9ralement d'une question de vie ou de mort, mais les lib\u00e9raux se contentent de hausser les \u00e9paules.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9015289\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> mettra-t-il fin \u00e0 ses d\u00e9penses inflationnistes afin de ramener le co\u00fbt de la vie \u00e0 la port\u00e9e du portefeuille des Canadiens?</p>"
